hat if the problem isn't willpower-but an invisible loop running your behavior?

In The Addiction Loop, author and coach Thomas Goddard reframes addiction not as a moral failure, but as a nervous-system pattern designed to provide short-term relief under pressure-often at a long-term cost. These loops don't only show up with substances; they appear in overworking, avoidance, scrolling, people-pleasing, and the habits we rely on when life feels overwhelming.

Drawing from lived experience, recovery, and years of coaching neurodivergent and high-functioning adults, Goddard reveals how these loops form, why they persist, and how learning to recognize them changes everything. Instead of offering motivation or rigid productivity systems, The Addiction Loop provides a compassionate, practical framework for understanding behavior-especially on low-capacity days.

This is not a book about fixing yourself.

It's a book about seeing yourself clearly.

If you've ever wondered why insight doesn't always lead to change-or why consistency collapses under stress-The Addiction Loop offers a humane, steady path forward.
